The Golf Course at Spirit Hollow

Kevin J. Carr, an Iowa-based senior executive with more than two decades of experience in the finance industry, serves as the vice president of administrative services at Southeastern Community College. In his free time, Kevin J. Carr enjoys golfing at Spirit Hollow, a course in Burlington, Iowa.

The golf course at Spirit Hollow was designed by Rick Jacobson more than 20 years ago. A tribute to the area’s natural curves and hills, the course provides players with scenic challenges, including water hazards, sloping greens, and over 15,000 trees. The course traces the Mississippi River, creating a unique experience for players of varying skill.

Rated one of the top two courses in Iowa by both Golf World and Golf Digest, Spirit Hollow was built on a 400-acre cattle ranch. The ranch appealed to Randy Winegard, a young Iowa native who felt so drawn to the land that he purchased it in 1991. It is open to players of all ages. Golfers age 17 and under can play for $15 on weekdays and $20 on weekends and holidays.

Golfers ages 18 to 49 can play for $80 on weekdays and $89 on weekends and holidays. Those aged 50 to 59 can play for $45 on weekdays and $50 on weekends and holidays. Golfers age 60 and over can play for $40 weekdays and $45 weekends and holidays.
